“Really? Or what?” I demanded of him.
“You will live a shorter life.” He laughed at me.
“You’re already planning to kill me anyway.”
“Yes, but I wanted to have a nice chat first. Keep acting like that and I will just kill you now.”
“Oh no, heavens forbid it, I cannot have that happening now can I.”
“Don’t press your luck you little bitch. I’m trying to be generous. I thought you would like an explanation before you died. But you can just die now, being as ignorant as you are. If you’re content dying ignorant then so be it for me to stop you.”
“What makes you think I am ignorant of anything?” I yelled at him. “What makes you act all high and mighty, thinking you’re better than me? Why do you think I do not know anything about you or your people?”
“Foolish little girl, where would you have learned about it all?” He looked at me with his eerily light colored eyes and smirked. “I destroyed the Aerie Convento the day you arrived, taking that unborn abomination with it.”
“Abomination? Abomination? That abomination was my baby, your grandchild. It would have had warlock blood coursing through it.”
“Yes, but it was too tainted with beastmen to be usable to me. I didn’t know about, or intend to kill it, but it was an added bonus.”
“You bastard. You heartless, demonic bastard.” I was shaking from my anger and the gray of the landscape around me was slowly turning a hazy red color. I was ready to kill him.
I just watched on as Edmond laughed about his evil deeds. He got a kick out of the destruction and despair he brought people. It was truly like his life’s joy.
“What the hell is the matter with you? What happened to you to turn you into this type of person?”
“What happened you ask, hmm.” He seemed to be deep in thought as he pondered my question. He even put his hand on his chin and looked like he was thinking hard. “Nothing happened really. This is just the way I was born. The Goddess Hektate made me in her image.”
“The Goddess Hektate was just as evil and sadistic.”
“Oh, no, she’s even more so. That’s why I recognize her as my only mother. I want to be just like her when I grow up.” He put on a high pitched voice and spoke like a child, after a moment he began to laugh at his own joke.
I looked at Edmond then. Truly looked at him for the first time ever. I looked into his eyes, searching for the heart I already knew he was born without. I searched his face, his eyes, for some sort of remorse. I found nothing but emptiness and maniacal glee. He was truly proud of himself for everything he had done. For all the lives he had taken.
“How many of your children have you killed, Edmond? How many women did you destroy to get those children? Don’t you feel anything for the flesh and blood that you lost.”
“If they’re not strong enough to survive, then that’s on them. I feel nothing for the loss of them or their mothers. They were tools and vessels, and they were all broken. I have no need for broken things.”
“Did you ever think that you were the broken thing, you asshole? Did you ever think that they would have grown up powerful and strong if you didn’t torment or torture them all to death?” I felt the wind stir around me as I spoke, and those phantom eyes that were staring at me before became just a little clearer.
“Nonsense. They were weak and needed to be plucked from the pool. You had potential, so much potential. But your body chose wolf over warlock so you’re no longer of use to me.”
“You’re the one no longer needed.” I yelled at him. “And that’s why I am going to kill you.”
“Ha, you kill me. That’s the funniest thing I have heard in a long time.”
“Do you hear me laughing asshole?” I snarled at him, my anger flaring higher and higher. “You’re one piece of trash this world never needed, and it’s time to clean things up.”
“I told you to watch what you said about me, you useless little mongrel slut. I will make you wish you’d never met that mate of yours. That would have been the only way for you to have survived you know. But now you’re a tainted piece of mongrel scum.”
“You’re going to rue the day you decided to experiment on unborn children you crazy fuck.” I knew that the arguing was too much. But I also knew that as soon as it stopped, the fighting would start. And lastly, I knew that only one of us would be walking away from this fight, while the other was left to die.
I was ready. It was time to end all this.
“Fuck you, Edmond.” I spoke one last time before I curled myself into a fighting stance.

There was a subtle shift in the air as Edmond drew his magic to himself. I could see the power begin to swirl around him. More of that purple fog swirled around him as he radiated with intense power.
The look in his eyes, along with the jaunty set to his chin it all said that he didn’t view me as a threat. He thought he could kill me easily. He thought this would be like a walk in the park as he taunted and tortured me. But he had another thing coming.
If there was one thing that I knew, it was that he didn’t know a single thing about me. He might be able to predict my actions to a certain degree, but he would never be able to know what I have put myself through. It was time to show him everything that I had at my disposal.
I felt the rush of power coming off him before the spell actually moved toward me. I shifted my weight and leapt into the air, using reflexes like a rabbit to escape his blast. The swirling black ball of magic he had aimed at me just soared off into the distance and dissipated after a while.
“Such an animal.” He snapped angrily as I landed behind him. “This proved how much you’ve been tainted.”
“If you only knew what I have become.” I taunted him as I went on the offense this time.
I didn’t want this taking forever, but I didn’t know how easily it would be to destroy a man who had been gaining power for centuries. This would no doubt be a hard fight for me.
